Yes.

Photran is built as a plugin to CDT.  CDT is the actual plugin that
provides an IDE for C and C++.  So, strictly speaking, it is not
photran that allows you to build and run C and C++ programs, it is
CDT.  Nevertheless, if you have Photran, then you have CDT.  In the
past, we had versions of Photran that replaced CDT so you couldn't
have them both at the same time.  The current version will run only if
CDT is installed, so if you have Photran, you have CDT.

For documentation, look up CDT.  You will see that Photran is very
similar, which is because it was built to reuse as much of CDT as
possible.
